28/1

Ivawood filly out of maiden dam who placed at up to 1m. Yard making very solid start but she may be up against it on debut in this company.

Bugz Bunny

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Charlie Bennett| T: A West

125/1

Daughter of Nayef out of a mare who won at 7f and over an extended mile on AW. Yard not known for winning debutants so quite likely to benefit from this first racecourse appearance.

Coquette⁸

13/8

Champs Elysees filly closely related to a number of winners and out of Grade 3 US winner. Learning on the job and got the hang of things late on when staying-on second at Goodwood over this trip last week. Could be more to come.

Kesarina¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Louis Steward| T: Sir Michael Stoute

9/1

Medicean half-sister to Group 3 winner Zaaki and half-sister to three other fair winners. Looked green on racecourse bow at Yarmouth earlier this month over 1m and step up 2f should be a plus with that experience to draw on.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: James Doyle| T: W J Haggas

11/4

Ran with plenty of credit when length third on debut over 1m at Lingfield recently and this daughter of Champs Elysees may well benefit from the extra 2f this time. Sure to go close if she stays.

Raventree¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

9/4

38,000gns Nathaniel filly from family that has produced some decent middle-distance performers. Sure to have come on for first start when kept on into sixth over Newbury 1m and longer trip will certainly be to her liking. One for the shortlist.

Form: 6

Spring Glow

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding

22/1

Debut for Mukhadram filly from family that has produced a number of winners who all stay very well and most get 2m. Yard in fine form but suspicion this trip will be plenty sharp enough for her.

Wendreda²⁴⁴

100/1

Casamento filly cost just 1,500gns as a yealring. Half-sister to two winners and dam scored over extended 1m3f. More than likely to improve for this first experience and is hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Coquette (13/8), Raventree (9/4), Naked Lass (11/4), Diva Kareem (8/1), Kesarina (9/1), Spring Glow (22/1), Arctic Victory (28/1), Wendreda (100/1), Bugz Bunny (125/1)

NAKED LASS is the choice having done nicely when third over a mile on debut at Lingfield. This step up in trip may prompt the necessary improvement for her to lose her maiden tag. Coquette also shaped well first time and was a solid runner-up at Goodwood, clearly getting the hang of things late on. We know she stays and she looks a danger, along with the champion trainer's Raventree who was not knocked about and will have learned plenty from her debut sixth at Newbury over a mile. Kesarina is also open to improvement.
